Hey y'all,
I recently harvested a couple of snapping turtles. I saved the livers and the yellow fat for a possible predator lure. Any recommendations on how to make a predator lure out of them? Thanks.

I like to sun render any fat.
If I was trying for the first time I would grind the liver fresh, mix with sun rendered fat and freeze in plastic jars.

Are you thinking a long range call lure?
I always thought rotten turtle was a great call smell.
The stuff us RANK!

I was thinking about a curiosity lure. But any idea is appreciated. I've not used snapping turtles for lure before.
